UPDATE:More from ABC 7: The officer's name is Gilberto Valle III, and he was charged in connection with a plot to kidnap and cook as many as 100 women, including his girlfriend. The complaint stems from a series of online conversations Valle allegedly had with an accomplice, in which he remarks how "tasty" his girlfriend looks.

Meanwhile, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly released the following statement:

This is a bizarre case. We suspended the officer immediately upon his arrest, and a review is now underway to determine whether there was anything in his background that should have alerted the department to his alleged proclivities. I want to commend the NYPD Internal Affairs Bureau detectives and FBI agents who worked jointly on this investigation.
